The form Glenn suggested would place remember-data-directory under
user-emacs-directory, which is documented to contain "additional per-user
Emacs-specific files", not merely configuration files. It's better to make
this the default location instead of cluttering up users' home directories,
especially with non-hidden files, without their permission. See also bug
13870 for a recent precedent.
